However, Dubai camel Shaheen has picked Argentina as the winner of the World Cup final. Like with other animals around the world that have been used as Cup oracles, critics will point out that the camel's way of predicting a winner—the animal is put next to two signs with the national flags of the countries, with the winner being the nation whose flag it first chews on—isn't scientific. But reportedly, Shaheen has had a 66 percent success rate in predicting winners so far, with a particularly strong record since the start of the knockout stages.

Lanzelot, an armadillo in the zoo in Vienna, Austria, has also picked Argentina.

Meanwhile, Bleacher Report simulated the final using EA Sports video game FIFA 14, and the result was a 2-0 victory for Argentina.

History is also not on Germany's side, as no European team has ever won a World Cup in humid Latin America. In comparison, Argentina won the last two World Cups in South America—1978 on home turf and 1986 in Mexico against Germany.

Meanwhile, Cortana, the digital assistant created by Microsoft as the company's answer to Apple's Siri, has reportedly correctly picked the winner in each of the knockout matches at the World Cup, making for 14 correct forecasts in a row. Cortana is calling Germany as the winner of the World Cup in Brazil.

Fans will still want to wait with any early celebrations until the final whistle blows on Sunday.
